Two WWF Ambassadors Aim for Everest Summit – To Highlight Climate Change in the Himalayas
In May 2009, Climate Ambassador Apa Sherpa made history by sending out a grave climate change message from the top of the world during his 19th record-breaking summit of Everest.
This year, Apa is back on Everest. And this time, he is joined by a voice from the developed world - 42-year-old Carina Raiha, a former Finnish businesswoman with a passion for nature and conservation. With the highest mountain in the world as their platform, Apa and Carina have their individual records to make. Apa for his 20th Everest ascent and Carina as the first Finnish woman to summit Everest.
But they have one more thing in common. Both Apa and Carina are dedicated to raising their voice for the Himalayan cause. Together they will join hands with Climate for Life, and during their expedition, will work towards highlighting this message – Climate Change in the Himalayas is a REALITY. And we need the world’s support for this cause.
Apa will carry a message to Everest which reads “YOU HEARD OUR VOICE, NOW RAISE YOURS – WE CAN STOP CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE HIMALAYAS”.
Apa is carrying the Banner during the Eco Everest Expedition, which is led by two-time Everest Summiteer and fellow Climate Ambassador Dawa Steven Sherpa.
Carina will also be carrying a similar banner which reads “WE HEARD YOUR VOICE, NOW WE’LL RAISE OURS – WE CAN STOP CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE HIMALAYAS”
Throughout their Expeditions, the Ambassadors will be sending photos and updates of their latest activities and observations in the Himalayas.
